David Clarke was set to speak to a law enforcement group in Oregon but was nixed from the schedule after community backlash. He’s now the keynote speaker for the Utah Sheriff’s Association’s annual conference that begins next week.
Utah Sheriffs Association invited controversial former sheriff David Clarke to be keynote speaker for their annual conference next week.

He’s been a regular commentator on Fox News, and more recently, the right-wing cable channel Newsmax.
